Must you showcase your stupidity on every thread?

The Fulanis are predominantly cattle herders
and their cows are critical to their survival as
they fetch them a substantial amount when
sold. Hence, they can walk long and
unbelievable distances in search for grazing
lands for their cows.[/b]The Fulanis are amazing people with a rich
heritage. The familiar picture of a man from
this tribe wielding a stick fending for his
priceless cow is a picture that everyone can
relate with. This culture of cow rearing is a
trend that has stayed with the Fulanis and has
been handed from one generation to another.
Certain peculiarities make them stand out from
other tribes of the North.


They love their cows

2- Nomadic and adventurous
Adventure is the trademark of the average
Fulani. The nomadic nature of this people has
caused them to travel the length and breadth
of Nigeria on foot. As a people who possess a
historic affiliation for animal husbandry, the
men traverse the countryside in search for lush
greenery for feeding the cattle while the women
who travel in groups behind them sell the
cow’s milk as fura de nunu.


3- Artistic hairstyle
The hairstyle is another distinct quality of the
Fulani especially the women. Flamboyant in
nature, this signature is considered absurd to
many but they wear it with pride.



4-The President is Fulani
President Muhammadu Buhari hails from the
Fulani ethnic group! He is an indigene of Daura
in Katsina .

I need my job to continue my life....
My boss should continue fvcking my wife until I raise enough money under my boss and start a new business on my own. Then finally I will ask my wife to join my boss in his house . I cant handle a cheating wife

But thats nt fair sending her packing after you've achieved what you want.Its obvious your boss increased your salary cos of her.

Jennifer89:

Amen oo

You graduated from the university with a good result and you couldnt get a job for 5 years.Luckily for you,you got a job in a company with a salary of #150,000 per month.And within 2 months of your working there your boss decided to increase your salary to #250,000 saying you are hardworking.You informed your friend of it and he said your boss increased your salary cos he's sleeping with your wife and you got to find out.What will you do? Quit the job,divorce your wife or sue your boss.

According to science,it says men who talk in low audible voices are more likely to cheat.
It sounds weird but its science.
The subject of cheating came up the other day,and while I know what my girlfriend and I consider cheating,I realised that our defination may not be universal.Where do your thresholds lie?.
.
Is Kissing cheating? Flirting?Sexting? Where do you draw the line between merely being hurt and breaking up?
Have you cheated before?
Has someone ever cheated on u?
What reason did the person gave?

This actually happened to my neighbour.
His wife saved his mum's(mother-inlaw) number on her phone as 'old witch'.
He dialed his mum's number on his wife's phone and found out she saved it as 'old witch'.Though,his mum has her attitude but is it fair to save her name like that? He is thinking of divorcing her cos he is really upset.
Now,my questions are
1-HOW SERIOUS DO YOU TAKE PHONE NAMES?.

2-HOW WOULD YOU REACT?.

3-WHAT PHONE NAME WILL YOU CONSIDER AS THE MOST ANNOYING OR APPROPRIATE?.
